dcb rewr is used to configure the rewrite table, in the DCB (Data
Center Bridging) subsystem. The rewrite table is used to rewrite
certain values in the packet headers, based on packet priority.
DCB rewrite entries are, like DCB APP entries, 3-tuples of
selector, protocol ID, and priority. Selector is an enumeration
that picks one of the prioritization namespaces. Currently, only
the DSCP and PCP selector namespaces are supported by dcb rewr.
The rewrite table is a list of DCB rewrite rules, that applies to
packets with matching priority. Notably, it is valid to have
conflicting rewrite assignment for the same selector and
priority. For example, the set of two rewrite entries (DSCP, 10,
1) and (DSCP, 11, 1), where packets with priority 1 should have
its DSCP value rewritten to both 10 and 11, form a well-defined
rewrite table. dcb rewr tool allows low-level management of the
rewrite table by adding and deleting individual rewrite 3-tuples
through add and del commands. On the other hand, the command
replace does what one would typically want in this
situation--first adds the new configuration, and then removes the
obsolete one, so that only one rewrite rule is in effect for a
given selector and priority.
show Display all entries with a given selector. When no
selector is given, shows all rewrite table entries
categorized per selector.
flush Remove all entries with a given selector. When no selector
is given, removes all rewrite table entries.
add
del Add and, respectively, remove individual rewrite 3-tuples
to and from the DCB rewrite table.
replace
Take the list of entries mentioned as parameter, and add
those that are not present in the rewrite table yet. Then
remove those entries, whose selector and priority have
been mentioned as parameter, but not with the exact same
protocol ID. This has the effect of, for the given
selector and priority, causing that the table only
contains the protocol ID (or ID's) given as parameter.
The following table shows parameters in a way that they would be
used with add, del and replace commands. For show and flush, the
parameter name is to be used as a simple keyword without further
arguments.
prio-dscp DSCP-MAP
DSCP-MAP uses the array parameter syntax, see dcb(8) for
details. Keys are priorities, values are DSCP points for
traffic with matching priority. DSCP points can be written
either directly as numeric values, or using symbolic names
specified in /etc/iproute2/rt_dsfield (however note that
the file specifies full 8-bit dsfield values, whereas dcb
rewr will only use the higher six bits). dcb rewr show
will similarly format DSCP values as symbolic names if
possible. The command line option -N turns the show
translation off.
prio-pcp PCP-MAP
PCP-MAP uses the array parameter syntax, see dcb(8) for
details. Keys are priorities. Values are PCP/DEI for
traffic with matching priority. PCP/DEI values are written
as a combination of numeric- and symbolic values, to
accommodate for both. PCP always in numeric form e.g 0 ..
7 and DEI in symbolic form e.g 'de' (drop-eligible),
indicating that the DEI bit is 1 or 'nd' (not-drop-
eligible), indicating that the DEI bit is 0. In
combination 1:2de translates to a mapping of priority 1 to
PCP=2 and DEI=1.
Add a rule to rewrite DSCP to 0, 24 and 48 for traffic with
priority 0, 3 and 6, respectively:
# dcb rewr add dev eth0 prio-dscp 0:0 3:24 6:48
Add a rule to rewrite DSCP to 25 for traffic with priority 3:
# dcb rewr add dev eth0 prio-dscp 3:25
# dcb rewr show dev eth0 prio-dscp
prio-dscp 0:0 3:CS3 3:25 6:CS6
# dcb -N rewr show dev eth0 prio-dscp
prio-dscp 0:0 3:24 3:25 6:48
Reconfigure the table so that only one rule exists for rewriting
traffic with priority 3.
# dcb rewr replace dev eth0 prio-dscp 3:26
# dcb rewr -N show dev eth0 prio-dscp
prio-dscp 0:0 3:26 6:48
Flush all DSCP rules:
# dcb rewr flush dev eth0 prio-dscp
# dcb rewr show dev eth0 prio-dscp
(nothing)
Add a rule to rewrite PCP to 1 and DEI to 0 for traffic with
priority 1 and a rule to rewrite PCP to 2 and DEI to 1 for
traffic with priority 2:
# dcb rewr add dev eth0 prio-pcp 1:1nd 2:2de
# dcb rewr show dev eth0 prio-pcp
prio-pcp 1:1nd 2:2de
Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer
upon failure.
